  1. Just yesterday purchased an Epiphone 12-string, and am trying to date it as close as possible. Label is rectangular, paper in soundhole, brown on tan. -- Model # FT-160 -- Serial # 1262289 -- Texan - 12 (I'm curious about this. Does it have some significance?) -- Made in Japan. It has the two large shiny chrome screws to adjust the bridge seen on some of the '60s Gibson J-50s. I've been scrounging around on the net, and the best estimate I can come up with is 1976-1979, by the shape and color of the label. But the serial number is 7 digits, rather than 6, which doesn't conform to the Y-MM format for the first three digits. I've read some very well informed posts this afternoon, so I'm kinda hopeful that someone can help me out. Thanks, Charles Levy Oakland CA
